Hi everyone.
Here I share a review of Queen's concert at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati on 26th November 1978: written by journalist Victor I. Harrison, it was published in the American music magazine Billboard on 9th December 1978.
Since we don't have a recording of this show, this review gives us some interesting information: Harrison writes that Queen played a set of twenty-two songs (even though the basic set list includes twenty-six), probably the same ones already played in previous concerts (the journalist quotes 'We Will Rock You (fast)', 'Let Me Entertain You', 'Death On Two Legs', 'Somebody To Love', 'You're My Best Friend', 'Spread Your Wings', 'Dreamer's Ball', 'Love Of My Life', 'Brighton Rock', 'Fat Bottomed Girls', 'Tie Your Mother Down', 'Sheer Heart Attack', 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions'). The review is however positive and points out that Queen do not use recorded backing tracks in their shows, except in the central section of 'Get Down Make Love' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
Enjoy the reading!
